D&D 5E (2014) GAMA Trade Show and Game Developer Conference start Monday - announcement Tomorrow?

[Thaumaturge]

So no official release date and no official price.

Could it be because they're still not sure they can hit a mid-August deadline?

Thaumaturge.

At least we know that there will be the "holy triad" PH, DMG and MM

 

[Giltonio_Santos]

No multiple PHBs, all iconic monsters in the Monster Manual. Cool.

*facepalm*

You thought any acknowledgement of what's happened in the realms for the past 4 years (which includes an unbroken line of novels from the same authors as before) was facepalm-worthy? I mean, I get that you have a preference, but it's one reasonable choice to make for them.

Is there a photo leaked anywhere of the PHB cover? I'm really curious to know what it looks like.

 

[Jeff Carlsen]

So, Starter Set plus Classic trilogy confirmed. With magic items in the DMG, we can expect that the Players Handbook won't be sufficient as a stand alone product.

I just hope we get a real press release with pictures and details soon.

But magic items are optional, and not assumed.

Looks like the 'starter set' will be more like the 4e one and not like the Pathfinder Beginner Box.

Since I have neither, would somebody be so kind as to compare and contrast?

I like most of what I saw in the tweets.

" To recap: Starter in "summer," PH "later," no dates, no prices, lots of pretty pics, story is king"

Me: OK, so that is confirmation the "leaked" Barnes and Noble entry for the PHB was false, as they had a Summer release date.
